More quotes by C. S. Lewis

Image
In commanding us to glorify Him, God is inviting us to enjoy Him.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The discomfiture we feel may be our most accurate human sensation reminding us we are not quite at home here.
C. S. Lewis
Image
You all know, said the Guide, that security is mortals' greatest enemy.
C. S. Lewis
Image
War creates no absolutely new situation: it simply aggravates the permanent human situation so that we can no longer ignore it. Human life has always been lived on the edge of a precipice.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Bad art is never really enjoyed in the same sense in which good art is enjoyed. It is only liked: it never startles, prostrates, and takes captive.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Mere change is not growth. Growth is the synthesis of change and continuity, and where there is no continuity there is no growth.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The Opposite of Love is not hate, but power
C. S. Lewis
Image
It is Christ Himself, not the Bible, who is the true Word of God. The Bible, read in the right spirit and with the guidance of good teachers, will bring us to Him.
C. S. Lewis
Image
If we really think that home is elsewhere and that this life is a wandering to find home, why should we not look forward to the arrival?
C. S. Lewis
Image
Selfishness has never been admired.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Prosperity knits a man to the world.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The modern habit of doing ceremonial things unceremoniously is no proof of humility rather it proves the offender's inability to forget himself in the rite, and his readiness to spoil for every one else the proper pleasure of ritual.
C. S. Lewis
Image
If anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell him the first step. The first step is to realize that one is proud. And a biggish step, too. At least, nothing whatever can be done before it. If you think you are not conceited, it means that you are very conceited indeed.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The most dangerous ideas in a society are not the ones being argued, but the ones that are assumed.
C. S. Lewis
Image
It is hardly complimentary to God that we should choose him as an alternative to hell.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Art can teach without at all ceasing to be art.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The proper aim of giving is to put the recipient in a state where he no longer needs our gift.
C. S. Lewis
Image
We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Reality, looked at steadily, is unbearable.
C. S. Lewis
